Republican lawmaker moves to impeach Hegseth over Iran war

metronieuws.nl (Dutch) —

Republican Representative Thomas Massie plans to force a vote next week on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war with Iran, according to CNN, with multiple Republican sources expecting the House to approve. Republican lawmakers hold Hegseth partly responsible for their party's heavy election defeat, alleging he persuaded President Donald Trump to attack Iran without an exit plan and painted an overly rosy picture of a quick victory. Trump continues to back Hegseth, saying he does "very good work" and denying plans to fire him. The Pentagon states Hegseth intends to remain until the end of Trump's term and is prepared to defend his policies in Congress.
